Before the "what about Hamas?!?" people get all upset-

According to human rights officials, Hamas is also named in the report for its killing and kidnapping of children in its 7 October attack on Israel, in which nearly 1,200 Israelis were killed.
- Wherever people call out the October 7th death count that always makes me notice I can't find data on how many Israeli civilians have died since October 7th. It's almost like this has never actually been retaliatory.
  
  If with October 7 you include the weekend until including October 9 and account people that died of injuries inflicted in that itme, then the number is zero. So Israeli civillians that were killed after the events commonly referred to as October 7.
  
  Also for the number of October 7 it is conveniently ignored by pro Israel media, that about 400-500 of the Israelis killed were active duty soldiers. So the number of genuine Israeli victims of Hamas terror is around 700. Of these iirc. about 30-35 were children. So basically the rate of Palestinian childrens butchered by IDF to pass any random afternoon in the past 8 months.
  
  It's sure as hell not proportional.
- People on Lemmy don’t criticize Hamas…. Just Biden.
  
  That is absolute nonsense.
  
  What people don't do is feel the need to criticize Hamas every time Israel is criticized.
  
  People on Lemmy don’t criticize… Kim Jong
  
  All my homies hate Hamas. It’s the default you barely have to mention. The sky is blue, fuck Hamas, water is wet.
  
  I'll falsify that by criticising Hamas.
  
  Hamas are terrorists and they suck. They need to fuck off and let Palestinians not get involved in terrifying violence.
  
  I'll note here that we Americans have no influence whatsoever on what Hamas does, but allegedly, the President represents us. It makes sense to criticize Biden, whereas criticism of Hamas is just farting into the wind.
That’ll teach ‘em
